#1 of 3 First time buyer by bthakkar Jan 10, 2009 (4:56 am)
I have no experience buying a car and am planning to get 2009 C luxury sedan. I would like to keep the car for 2 years and then upgrade to E class. 1) Does it make sense to buy or lease? 2) I built the car on the merc site and got the price to be ~42K with entertainment package etc. How much should I expect the dealer to go down? what's a good deal? 3) how much would the car depreciate in 2 years? Can anyone please send me articles on how to negotiate with dealers. I live in Chicago. Thank you. Replies to this message: giovanni3 (Nov 05, 2009 9:50 pm) giovanni3 (Nov 05, 2009 10:24 pm)

Replying to: bthakkar (Jan 10, 2009 4:56 am) A this time of year you can negotiate to get at least 9k to 10k under MSRP for a 2009 model. You're better off going to this post: http://townhall-talk.edmunds.com/WebX/.eea6921/994!make=Mercedes-Benz&model=C-Cl- - ass&ed_makeindex=.eea6921
